Bamboo Australia: Beer cans and poles!
Over the past eighteen years Bamboo Australia has been supplying the Australian Antarctic Division (AAC) with long poles, which are used as markers at various Antarctic bases.
"Our poles are harvested here, packed and sent to Hobart where they are loaded onto ships for forwarding to Casey, Mawson, Davis & Wilkins bases. A long way from sub-tropical Belli Park!"
However, when questioned on how the poles are ultilised “I have been informed on many occasions that an empty beer can was attached to a pole, which provides a radar reflection. Yeah! Pull the other one.” says Durn.
After many years of asking the AAC for proof, finally Durn has the truth! Read the full story here, and remember to get in now for your holiday project orders for delivery before Christmas.
